Always be aware of your surroundings
"SCULLY! Come and have a look at what I found!" Hitchcock was calling out to his partner Norm Scully. Scully was busy swapping donuts from his side to his fellow detectives side. He had a slight preference for cream filled ones.
"What is it? Is that nut still bothering you? Have you been able to tell which nut it is? For the record, I had told you, it's a cashew" piped in Sculley.
"No no, something much better"
"Better than our nut bet? This better be real good" and so saying, Norman Sculley rose, knocked his chair down and spilled his coffee glass whose contents ran across the table, drenching the cake shaped paperweight, the box of glazed donuts and mixed with the mayonnaise that had dropped the previous afternoon.
Wiping his donut glaze on Hitchcock's back, he looked up at the monitor in front of him. What he saw was something he wasn't expecting. He and Hitchcock had been assigned to review the precincts camera recordings by their new captain. This was a pointless exercise but they felt that were given a great responsibility.
Hitchcock and Scully could not believe their eyes. Jake and Amy were kissing each other. This happened to be a recording from the server room where everyone went to hide or avoid someone. Only a few people knew that there was a CCTV that recorded everything. Jake and Amy definitely did not know that. "Get a load of this! You think they're doing this for a reality TV show?" enquired Hitchcock
"That's not possible. Amy would've certainly told me. She's my best friend" replied Sculley with a pride and grin matching that of a basketball player who had just scored a 3 pointer with his back facing the basket and eyes shut. "Yeah Jake never mentioned anything. He and I really got close during the jimmy-jab games" said Hitchcock, who wasn't to be left behind.
"Let's see what Charles has to say".
On being invited to the table, Charles remarked " Guys is this another nut story? You drive me nuts with those nuts. In fact, you might as well run those nuts for presidency"
However when he sees the tape, he squeals out "OMGGGG I KNEW IT! Jake can say he only kissed her to keep their cover, but THIS! This is proof that they're Fred and Daphne or..Brienne and Jaime or..
" None of those are actual couples. They're Chandler and Monica" remarked the normally stoic Rosa Diaz who now was wearing an expression that either appeared as a cheerful grin or an intimidating leer.
The detectives decided to send a copy of this tape to everyone in the precinct.
This began a series of events that Amy and Jake were hoping to avoid until one of them got promoted and left the 99 or one of them died in a knife fight on top of a Ferris wheel. Boyle was over the moon and kept on saying how he was right all along about how they felt about each other. He even created a pizza for them and called it the JAMY. It was a pizza with jam as the sauce instead of marinara and it was disgusting. Terry gave them advice to having a successful relationship, Gina finally changed Amy's contact information from " that uptight woman at the precinct" to Amy Peralta, Hitchcock and Scully offered them their precious donuts and Rosa Diaz actually smiled and told them not to mess that crap up. But the most interesting reaction came from Capt. Holt. He was still employed at the PR office and invited them both over for dinner at his place. He sat them down and expressed how happy he was to see them together without smiling. He also suggested that they should officially announce their relationship to the Human Resources team so that there was no controversy if and when either got promoted.
After dinner, he called Peralta into his study while Amy and Kevin sat and discussed art history
"Peralta, I need you to listen to me very carefully and it essential that you understand it to the fullest"
"Yes sir?"
"That woman out there is one of the most focused, dedicated and sincere individuals that I have ever seen. It is no secret that she aspires to become the captain of her own precinct and someday, maybe even the Chief. I cannot stress enough, that she's someone that you should never let go off. She will be loyal, caring and indulgent. Hence it is imperative that you grow up to be able to keep her happiness and best interests at heart. You can no longer think for yourself or keep rats in your office drawers. You cannot let crumbs decorate your table like streamers and your general lifestyle would need a facelift. If you continue being who you are right now, you will lose her. Pay close heed to this. "
Jacob Peralta was not used to being told what to do but he also never had a father figure to guide him and teach him on how to become a man. Over the past two years, he got used to listening and learning from Capt. Holt and looked up to him. So when heard those words from him, he knew he had to follow his advice.
"Yes sir, I understand".
He would keep that advice with him for the rest of his life.
